Distraught and Lost

My screams are heard in the middle of the battleground—I’m fought 
Now I’m in grief and I’m striving to set my mind elsewhere
But I’m frantic and lost—deeply distraught 

As I’m shipped away to a far, unknown terrain 
I, arduously, breathe in—there’s no one there to unwrap me  
On and on, the showering chilliness—never abstains

My life ahead of me foreshadows a future…not so distant
Sending delight to my frenzied soul—there’s some light to share! 
I’m found—held as a cherished infant

This is beautiful and sad. Nice choice of words. I enjoyed the ending. Nearly everything in life gets better one way or another. (:
